Exploring the most important moments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them upside down, taking viewers into uncharted territory. Chadwick Boseman’s final project at Marvel before his death. Watcher: [narration of each episode] Time. Space. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. It’s a prism of infinite possibilities, where one choice can branch into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question… « What if? » When the Marvel logo appears, it transitions into an animated form that matches the show’s art style. Edited for Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very simple episode where you have to rush to fit these pieces into the puzzle. And my facial expressions were also pretty straight forward when I watched this episode because there was no excitement or even a logical narrative, I get that this is an obsessive show aimed at kids? But only kids who are already familiar with all of the MCU might be able to enjoy it. Let’s see how the other episodes go, but this one didn’t really excite me. Edit: Episode 2 gave a real sense of what the MCU is all about. It was creative and thoughtful with major WHAT IF moments. I really enjoyed watching “T” back on screen. However, the third episode was cut, which forced me to edit this review. It was so exciting and interesting to watch that I could have watched the entire movie in this episode. It revisited the characters we know to the point where you want more. I hope to get a 10 star edit by the end of the season. Edit II: Here’s my one more star for “strange” 39; but a thought-provoking episode that was the best of the bunch in terms of writing, voice acting, animation and plot. Special mention to Benedict Cumberbatch for his voice acting as the boss. Bravo to Marvel for doing this. However, heading into episode 5, the series was definitely fun, humorous and engaging with quality animation, but again it shows too much while not giving the audience enough time to digest things. Still a 9/10 overall series at least until the next two episodes. They need to get past episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
